Slydial

Post by grw »

Has anybody been successful in getting Slydial to work with Magic Jack??




Slydial lets you connect directly with another person's cell phone voice mail, bypassing the traditional ringing process that often results - sometimes disastrously - with someone picking up on the other end.

Users call (267) SLY-DIAL from either a cell phone or a landline, and are prompted to enter another person's cell phone number.

After playing a short advertisement - unless users pay a subscription fee or 15 cents per call to skip ads - Slydial puts callers directly into their target's voice mail.

Recipients should then get a voice mail notification, and sometimes they will see a caller's number show up as a missed call, too.

If you have the same cell provider, a faster way is just send from your own voicemail to theirs.

I tried calling sly dial from my magicjack...

It says:

"Is your caller ID blocked? We can't let you sly dial someone if they don't know who you are. That just wouldn't be nice. Please change the setting on your phone so your caller ID is on and then try your sly dial call again."

Of course, my caller ID is on.
I don't have the spoofer, never tried it.
So I don't know what sly dial is talking about, I should have caller ID.
